+
+Introduction
+
+   Ftpmirror is an utility to copy directory hierarchy (this is called
+   ``mirror'') with FTP. A transfer is triggered only when modified, it can
+   be efficient transferring directory trees.
+
+   It is userful for ftp-servers maintenance, contentns sync with web server,
+   system backupping and so on.
+
+   A similar perl script exists, whose name is `mirror', this implementation
+   is fully comparing directory lists of sources and distination, it take a
+   heavy memmory load. If use on a large directory trees, so eat a lot of
+   memory(or swap) spaces. When I use ftp-server with 16MB memory, 'mirror'
+   software is not usable :-p, so I wrote software from scratch, that is
+   frpmirror. For example, full mirroring of FreeBSD distribution
+   (ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.ORG/pub/FreeBSD/*) needs 8~9 MB. *(Notice by
+   translator) Original document wrote at old(1998). May be this results has
+   obsolete.*
+
+   You need perl-5.003 or later to use ftpmirror. Please ensure that
+   perl-5.003 or later was installed in your environment, at first. But, perl
+   5.004 has a bug of memory leak. It eat a lot of memory spaces when
+   mirroring directory tree. I test with perl5.005, it has small memory leak
+   too, it is smaller than perl 5.004, it is not critical for real usage. I
+   suggest you using Perl 5.005.
+
+How to use ftpmirror
+
+    1. Install ftpmirror first. The newest version of ftpmirror is available
+       from ftp.intec.co.jp.
+
+       Please use these URLs.
+          * ftp://ftp.intec.co.jp/pub/utils/ftpmirror/ : release
+          * ftp://ftp.intec.co.jp/pub/utils/ftpmirror/beta/ : beta
+
+       Since ftpmirror is a archive of instal files, you must only extract
+       the archive. Do one of following:
+
+   % cd /usr/local/src
+ % gzip -cd < /tmp/ftpmirror-x.y.tar.gz | tar xf -
+
+       So create a directory named ftpmirror-x.y. Change directory and
+       execute configure:
+       Notice: If you need define specific perl verions, please set perls
+       path for enviroment variable "PERL".
+
+ % cd ftpmirror-x.y
+ % ./configure
+
+       Or, when you need specific perl version:
+
+ % cd ftpmirror-x.y
+ % env PERL=/usr/local/bin/perl5.005 ./configure
+
+       Execute make:
+
+ % make
+
+       When finished make with no errors. So install:
+
+ % su
+ # make install
+
+       In finished this procedure, so installed files are below paths:
+
+ /usr/local/bin/ftpmirror
+ /usr/local/bin/rotate
+ /usr/local/etc/ftpmirror.cf-sample
+ /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/Fan.pm
+ /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/Fan/...   (and some dirs)
+ /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/auto/Fan/...  (and some dirs)
+
+ * Notice: libraries install directory can changes
+     with perl's installed settings.
+
+       And copying and editing a configuration files, please add difinition
+       what you needs.
+
+ # cd /usr/local/etc
+ # cp ftpmirror.cf-sample ftpmirror.cf
+ # vi ftpmirror.cf
+
+Configuration
+
+       You can define parameters for ftpmirror with the default configuration
+       file, package specific configuration file, and run-time options
+       (commands arguments). In addition, configuration files are set
+       /usr/local/etc/ftpmirror.cf by defauls, it can change by command
+       argument "--load-config=/hoge/local.cf" if you need. And argument
+       "--load-config=+/hogehoge/local.cf" is used, this is append reading
+       after adove defaults reading.
+
+       Configuration parameters have follwoing types.
+
+ Default parametes:
+ Configuration files settings. They are written before
+ Serverss and Packages parameters.
+
+ Server parameters:
+ Difinition of server specific(timeouts, gateways and
+ so on..). They are provided at configuration files,
+ with 'server' parameters.
+
+ Package parameters:
+ Difinition of packages specific(direcotry, transfer
+ modes and so on). They are provided at configuration files,
+ with 'package' parameters.
+
+ Option parameters:
+ It provide by command args.
+
+       Their parameters are settings by adove order(when exists). Option
+       parameters are most prefferd.
+
+       How to settings parameters at configuration files:
+       That has two syntaxr,
+
+ param-name = value
+ or
+ param-name += value
+
+ =  is set param-name by value.
+ += is adding value(strings) for param-name.
+
+       How to settings parameters at commands args:
+       When using by commands args,any parameters must be prepended by "--"
+       in command line options. That use --(two minus) before options. For
+       example, following syntax is same as adove configuration settings.
+
+ % ftpmirror --param-name=value ...
+ % ftpmirror --param-name+=value ...
+
+Parameters
+
+       There are many acceptable parameters as follows:
+          * Parameters for system and behavior
+               * todo:(string, default: full-mirror)
+                 Settings of command behavior. Currently ftpmirror supports
+                 these behavior.
+                    * scan-remote : listup remote sides files.
+                    * scan-local : listup local sides files.
+                    * update-master : update local sides master index.
+                    * synch-remote : synchronize index files.
+                    * step-mirror : mirroring as slave mode.
+                    * full-mirror : execute basic mirroring(default).
+                 In defaults, it set basic mirroring behavior "full-mirror".
+                 *-regexp filters are enabled at first, any behavior works
+                 with these filters.
+               * verbose: (boolean, default: no)
+                 When set yes, transfer logs ouput verbosey. If set yes, logs
+                 output about non-transfererd/non-modified files.
+               * log-mask: (comma separated list, default: none)
+                 Settings about output logs. These difinition separates by
+                 perl libraries. For example, log-mask = Fan=6,Fan::FTP=7 are
+                 set, a output log include filelist of non transfererd/ non
+                 modified, and ftp's verbosey log.
+               * test-mode (boolean, default: no)
+                 dry-run. When set yes, only show filelist of transfer
+                 targets without real transfer.
+          * Parameters for FTP session
+               * ftp-server: (string, default: none)
+                 The server name to connect FTP session. This must be
+                 specified for mirroring.
+               * ftp-gateway: (string, default: none)
+                 Specify this parameter if you use FTP proxy gateway such as
+                 TIS Internet FireWall ToolKit. For example, "ftp-user =
+                 anonymous", "ftp-server = ring.etl.go.jp", "ftp-gateway =
+                 proxy.intec.co.jp" are set, real-connection goes to
+                 proxy.intec.co.jp, and username is anynymou@ring.etl.go.jp
+                 (ftp-pass is through simple). You may define this with
+                 server parameter.
+               * ftp-port: (service, default: ftp) ftp port definition. If
+                 you need change a port number, please set. When nomarlly
+                 usage, it is not necessary.
+               * ftp-bindaddr: (ip address, default: none) ftp local sides IP
+                 address difinitition. This can set a specific difinition of
+                 local ip address. When using multi-homed hosts(The hosts
+                 have multiple ip addresses), this settings provides a clear
+                 log files. When nomarlly usage, it is not necessary.
+               * ftp-user: (string, default: anonymous)
+                 Login name for FTP session. If you want to use anonymous
+                 FTP, please specify "anonymous" as this parameter.
+               * ftp-pass: (string, default: `whoami`@`hostname`)
+                 Password for FTP session.
+               * ftp-group: (string, default: none)
+                 If you want change group id after logged to the server,
+                 specify the group name. This must be specified with
+                 ftp-gpass.
+               * ftp-gpass: (string, default: none)
+                 If you want change group id after logged to the server,
+                 specify a password to change group. This must be specified
+                 with ftp-group.
+               * ftp-passive: (boolean, default: no)
+                 Set this parameter to yes if passive connection(PASV command
+                 in FTP) is required. This helps you if you use ftpmirror
+                 over a SYN/ACK style firewall.
+               * ftp-idle: (numeric, default: 0)
+                 If this parameter is not zero, ftpmirror tries to set idle
+                 timer of FTP session to this value. FTP server must support
+                 SITE IDLE command.
+               * ftp-max-idle: (boolean, default: 0)
+                 If this parameter is not zero, ftpmirror tries to set idle
+                 timer of FTP session to maximum value. FTP server must
+                 support SITE IDLE command.
+               * ftp-list-method: (LIST or STAT or STAT-A or STAT-A or
+                 STAT-AT default: STAT)
+                 You can specify which of STAT or LIST command should be used
+                 to get server's directory entries. Since STAT command
+                 returns server's directory entries over control connection,
+                 it is little faster than LIST command. Some ftp server
+                 software does not returns directory entry which is required
+                 by ftpmirror, in that case you must speficy as
+                 ftp-list-method = list.
+               * ftp-timeout: (numeric, default: 300)
+                 Timeout of connection. Unit is second.
+               * ftp-login-retry: (numeric, default: none)
+                 *This function is not implemented yet.*
+               * ftp-login-delay: (numeric, default: 60)
+               * ftp-stats: (boolean, default: no)
+                 If it set yes, when mirroring is finished, total transaction
+                 staistics is shown. It appear "control connection in/out",
+                 and "data connection in/out" by octet units.
+               * http-Proxy: (string, default: none) http-proxy settings when
+                 you need accessing ftp server with http. But, http cannot
+                 get direcroty information, so use ls-LR file, or using slave
+                 mode.
+                 For example,
+                    * package = FreeBSD
+                    * ftp-server = ftp.tokyonet.ad.jp
+                    * http-proxy = proxy.my.company.com
+                    * remote-directory = /pub/FreeBSD
+                    * local-directory = ~ftp/pub/FreeBSD
+                    * lslR-file = /pub/FreeBSD/ls-lR.Z
+                 Notice: HTTP is usgin per file transfer TCP connection. So
+                 cause large session logs, and heavy latency.
+          * Parameters for a package
+               * server: (boolean, default none)
+                 This is used to define FTP server specific parameters. After
+                 this parameter, any parameter are treated as the server
+                 specific parameter, until package or (next)server parameter
+                 will be found. Especially, it's reasonable to specify
+          * Parameters for a mirroring
+               * unlink:(boolean, default: no)
+                 When set yes, local directory trees are copied to remote
+                 hosts. For example,
+                    * package = webcopy
+                    * ftp-server = www.intec.co.jp
+                    * ftp-user = webadmin
+                    * ftp-pass = nan-jara-hoi
+                    * ftp-passive = yes
+                    * put-mode = yes
+                    * remote-directory = /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs
+                    * local-directory = ~ikuo/web/htdocs
+                         * unlink: (boolean or 'rename' default: yes)
+                           Set this parameter "yes" or 1 if you want to
+                           unlink a file which is removed from servers
+                           directory. You may set this parameter as "rename",
+                           in this case, ftpmirror renames a file with a
+                           trailing Tilda('~').
+                         * unlink-limit: (size value, default: 0)
+                           ** !!! This is not support current version. This
+                           is obsolete.**
+                           If this parameter is defined, ftpmirror will not
+                           remove large files or large directories. This may
+                           help you when server side directory hierachy is
+                           dramatically changed. For example, if unlink-limit
+                           is defined as 30M, any file or directory who is
+                           larger than 30Mbytes will not be removed. You may
+                           also specify 500K or 3G as the maximum size. When
+                           unlink-limit is defined as 100 (e.g. no size
+                           suffix), ftpmirror will not remote the directory
+                           who has more than 100 entries.
+                         * ftp-force-mtime:(boolean, default: no)
+                           When it set yes, time comparing is using MDTM
+                           commands.It set no, MDTM commands does not call
+                           using only file transfering.
+                         * ignore-mtime: (boolean, default: no)
+                         * check-mtime: (default: 1)
+                           By default, ftpmirror try to check modified times
+                           of local and remote files. If this parameter is
+                           zero, ftpmirror does NOT check modified time. In
+                           this case, if local and remote files have same
+                           size ftpmirror will only change local file
+                           timestamp to match remote one.
+                         * temp-directory: (pathname, default: /tmp)
+                           Ftpmirror stores temporary files to the directory
+                           specified by this parameter. Currently, ls-lR or
+                           dirinfo files may be stored in this directory.
+                         * lock-directory: (pathname, default: /tmp)
+                           Ftpmirror use lock mechanism to avoid invoking
+                           multiple ftpmirrors for a package. lock-directory
+                           parameter means the directory to create lock file.
+                           local-db
+                         * create-directory : (boolean, default: yes) When
+                           local-directory, temp-directory, lock-directory is
+                           set, but target directories dont exists, case of
+                           set yes to mkdir, set no to not and error
+                           aborting.
+                         * remote-directory: (boolean, default: none)
+                           You must specify the directory on the FTP server
+                           where you want to mirror as this parameter. Any
+                           mirror is recursively performed from this
+                           directory.
+                         * local-directory: (pathname, default: none)
+                           You must set this parameter to the directory in
+                           local-side host, e.g. the directory paired with
+                           remote-directory. Next example shows that
+                           ftpmirror will mirror "/pub/FreeBSD" in the FTP
+                           server to "/ftp/pub/FreeBSD" in local.
+
+ remote-directory = /pub/FreeBSD
+ local-directory = /ftp/pub/FreeBSD
+
+                           If home-directory is defined (or ftp user's home
+                           directory exists), you can specify as follows:
+
+ remote-directory = /pub/FreeBSD
+ local-directory = ~/pub/FreeBSD
+
+                         * master-db-directory: (pathname, default: none)
+                           ftpmirror can store localhosts filelist and last
+                           mirroring datas, if use this features, set
+                           master-db-directory and create storing directory.
+                           For example, following esettings will create
+                           filelist of ~ftp/pub/FreeBSD files. In this case,
+                           "n" is index files revision. And cycle a
+                           mirroring, ~ftp/db/FreeBSD/step.m is created too.
+                           "m" is step files revisions. step.m is diff of
+                           index.m => index.m+1.
+
+         package = FreeBSD
+          ftp-server = ftp.FreeBSD.ORG
+          remote-directory = /pub/%s
+          local-directory = ~ftp/pub/%s
+          master-db-directory = ~ftp/db/%s
+
+                           Addition, when dont use mirroring,
+                           master-db-direcoty can manage directory tree.
+                           Example is below.
+
+         package = original-tools
+          local-directory = ~ftp/pub/%s
+          master-db-directory = ~ftp/db/%s
+
+                           For update database only please execute:
+
+         % ftpmirror --todo=update-master original-tools
+
+                           If remote server has a master-db-directory, it can
+                           use "slave mode" mirroring. Please set
+                           remote-db-directory and local-db-cirectory
+                           parameters.
+                         * remote-db-directory: (pathname, default: none)
+                         * local-db-directory: (pathname, default: none)
+                           When remote server has a remote-db-directory, it
+                           can efficiency mirroring. This called "slave
+                           mode". "slave mode" can be use setting
+                           remote-db-directory and local-db-directory. If you
+                           use it, please create directory that
+                           local-db-directory specified. A parameters of
+                           master-db-directory is must set remote sides
+                           master-db-direcotry.
+                           These parameters can %s conversion(same
+                           local-directry parameters) And, local-db-directory
+                           supports tilda(~) directory conversion. When
+                           remote-db-directory and local-db-directory set,
+                           ftpmirror's behavior is below. At first, starts
+                           sync master-db-directory, second, start mirroring
+                           with db information. In this case, all file
+                           informations are provide by db, so without LIST,
+                           STAT commands. And, database syncronization is not
+                           fully copy, this synthethis a old index file and
+                           step files. Full copy is only apper at two case
+                           one is first copy, one of db files are broken. For
+                           example, using "slave mode" with
+                           adove(master-db-directory's example) server,
+                           sample configuration is below.
+
+         package = FreeBSD
+          ftp-server = ftp.master.server.host
+          remote-directory = /pub/%s
+          local-directory = ~ftp/pub/%s
+          remote-db-directory = /db/%s
+          local-db-directory = ~ftp/db/%s
+
+                           For advence, you can cumulative mirroring with
+                           step files. Configuration is same adove, use:
+
+          % ftpmirror --todo=step-mirror FreeBSD
+
+                         * lslR-file: (pathname, default: none)
+                           You can use ls-lR(or similar) on the FTP server
+                           rather than directory scan with STAT/LIST. Specify
+                           server side filename of ls-lR(or similar) as this
+                           parameter. If lslR-file has an extension of .gz or
+                           .Z, gunzip or uncompress will be automatically
+                           invoked. For example, if you mirror
+                           ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD with ls-lR.gz, you
+                           may specify as next:
+
+ ftp-server = ftp.freebsd.org
+ remote-directory = /pub/FreeBSD
+ local-directory = ~/pub/FreeBSD
+ lslR-file = /pub/FreeBSD/ls-lR.gz
+
+                         * lslR-copy: (pathname, default: none)
+                           When you need archive copying lslR-file on
+                           localhost, set this parameter. If you set a
+                           relative path, a path leading from
+                           local-directory. And, relative path set
+                           override-file parameters automatically. So
+                           lslR-copy is prevent from overwrite with
+                           mirroring. This setting is set, when lslR-file is
+                           transfered, and chacheing to lslR-copy file, then
+                           prevent needless transfer. The check of size/last
+                           modified are non-transferring with lslR-file.
+                           Addition, when you set this parameters, you can
+                           use efficient mirroring with ls-lR file without
+                           lslR-file parameters.
+                         * transfer-file-regexp: (regexp, default: matches
+                           all)
+                           Regular expressions(perl's regular expression) to
+                           match filenames to transfer. Ftpmirror tries to
+                           transfer only files on the server which matches to
+                           this expression. Any filename on the FTP server is
+                           represented as relative path (from
+                           remote-directory) beginning with "./". That is, if
+                           remote-directory is configured as "/pub/FreeBSD",
+                           the file "/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE/README.TXT"
+                           on the server is represented as
+                           "./2.1.5-RELEASE/README.TXT".
+
+                           Some examples follow:
+
+   transfer-file-regexp += !/~$/
+   transfer-file-regexp += !/\/\.in/
+   transfer-file-regexp += !/\/\.nfs/
+
+                           With this configuration, ftpmirror does NOT
+                           transfer files end with "~" and begin with ".in"
+                           or ".nfs".
+
+                           (Notes: "=" means replacing a parameter value, and
+                           "+=" means appending a parameter string)
+
+   transfer-file-regexp += /\/bash-/
+   transfer-file-regexp += /\/gcc-/
+   transfer-file-regexp += !
+
+                           With adobe configuration, ftpmirror tries to
+                           transfer bash-* and gcc-* files, but not others.
+                           The last line in this example means ftpmirror does
+                           NOT transfer by default.
+                         * transfer-directory-regexp: (default: matches all)
+                           Regular expressions(perl's regular expression) to
+                           match directory names to scan in a FTP server.
+                           Note that any directory in a FTP server is
+                           represented with trailing slash ('/'). For
+                           example, next shows configuration to avoid
+                           ftpmirror NOT to scan(off course, this means NOT
+                           to transfer) directories whose names are
+                           "lost+found", or directories ended with '~'.
+
+   transfer-directory-regexp += !/\/lost+found\/$/
+   transfer-directory-regexp += !/~\/$/
+
+                         * override-file-regexp: (default: matches all)
+                           Regular expressions(perl's regular expression) to
+                           match files you can override in local directories.
+                           In actual mirror session, ftpmirror tries to
+                           transfer files which match transfer-file-regexp,
+                           and also match override-file-regexp. Any file
+                           which does not match override-file-regexp will not
+                           be modified by ftpmirror. In the next example,
+                           ftpmirror tries to transfer bash-* files, but not
+                           modified any other files. This is useful when you
+                           want to get files from multiple FTP servers to a
+                           single local-side directory.
+
+   transfer-file-regexp += /\/bash-/
+   transfer-file-regexp += !
+   override-file-regexp += /\/bash-/
+   override-file-regexp += !
+
+                         * override-directory-regexp: (default: matches all)
+                           Regular expressions(perl's regular expression) to
+                           match directories ftpmirror will modify. You can
+                           transfer directories from multiple FTP servers to
+                           a single local-side directory with this parameter.
+                           Following example shows that you can transfer the
+                           FreeBSD-nonUS into the FreeBSD directory.
+
+   package = FreeBSD
+    ftp-server = ftp.tokyonet.ad.jp
+    remote-directory = /pub/FreeBSD
+    local-directory = ~/pub/FreeBSD
+    override-directory-regexp += !/\.\/FreeBSD-nonUS\//
+
+   package = FreeBSD-nonUS
+    ftp-server = ftp.waseda.ac.jp
+    remote-directory = /pub/FreeBSD-nonUS
+    local-directory = ~/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-nonUS
+
+                         * load-local-dirinfo: (default: 0)
+                           Set this parameter to 1 if you want to load local
+                           ".dirinfo" files. A ".dirinfo" file contains
+                           directory information described below.
+                         * store-local-dirinfo: (default: 0)
+                           Set this parameter to 1 if you want to generate
+                           ".dirinfo" files in local-side directories after
+                           each mirror session. A ".dirinfo" file contains
+                           directory information described below.
+                         * load-remote-dirinfo: (default: 0) Set this
+                           parameter to 1 if you want to load and use
+                           directory information stored in the FTP server.
+                           Using directory information, you can mirror files
+                           without STAT/LIST/SIZE/MDTM, and ftpmirror can
+                           check MD5 checksum of files.
+                         * override-file-uid: (default: 0)
+                           You can specify owner of files/directories in
+                           local. Any files and directories which match
+                           override-*-regexp, will be owned by this user id.
+                           If ftpmirror is invoked by non privileged user,
+                           this parameter is ignored.
+                         * override-file-gid: (default: 0)
+                           Same as override-file-uid, but this parameter is
+                           for group id. Note that if one of
+                           override-file-uid and override-file-gid is
+                           defined, any file which matches override-*-regexp
+                           (even if it is not transfered) will be modified
+                           with chown.
+                         * override-file-mode: (default: root -> 0444, other
+                           -> 0644)
+                           You can specify local-side file mode. Ftpmirror
+                           applies chmod to any file which matches
+                           override-*-regexp if this parameter is specified.
+                         * override-directory-mode: (default: 0755)
+                           Same as override-file-mode, but this parameter is
+                           for directories.
+                         * default-file-uid: (default: 0)
+                           Undef override-file-uid, and set this parameter to
+                           specify default owner of local-side files.
+                           Ftpmirror decides file owner in order:
+                           override-file-uid, owner in FTP server,
+                           default-file-uid.
+                         * default-file-gid: (default: 0)
+                           Same as default-file-uid, but this parameter is
+                           for group id.
+                         * default-file-mode: (default: root -> 0444, other
+                           -> 0644)
+                           Undef override-file-mode and you can specify
+                           default file mode. Ftpmirror tries to change file
+                           mode in order: override-file-mode, file mode in
+                           FTP server, default-file-mode. Note that since
+                           file mode is masked with 0777, you can not set
+                           setuid/setgid file modes.
+                         * default-directory-mode: (default: 0755)
+                           Same as default-file-mode, but this parameter is
+                           for a directory mode.
+                      Ftpmirror tries to compare files in local and remote
+                      with these entries. For example, ftpmirror compares as:
+                        1. file file-type
+                           Are sizes same? and are md5checksums same?
+                        2. symlink file-type
+                           Do they point same file?
+                        3. directory file-type
+                           Is the begin-time of last update of local
+                           directory is before the end-time of last update of
+                           remote directory?
+                      Especially, comparing directory update times are
+                      effective, if no file is changed in the remote
+                      directory, because ftpmirror do nothing about the
+                      directory (even directory scan is skipped).
+
+                      Ftpmirror generate ".dirinfo" file if
+                      store-local-dirinfo parameter is 1. You can also
+                      generate this file with mkdirinfo:

+<title>ftpmirror - mirroring directory hierarchy with FTP</title>
+</head><body>
+<h1>FTPMIRROR</h1>
+
+<h2>Introduction</h2>
+
+<p>
+<i>Ftpmirror</i> is an utility to copy directory hierarchy
+(this is called ``mirror'') with FTP.
+
+A transfer is triggered only when modified, it can be efficient 
+transferring directory trees.
+<p>
+It is userful for ftp-servers maintenance, contentns sync with 
+web server, system backupping and so on.  
+<p>
+
+A similar perl script exists, whose name is `mirror', this 
+implementation is fully comparing directory lists of sources
+and distination, it take a heavy memmory load. If use on a 
+large directory trees, so eat a lot of memory(or swap) spaces.
+
+When I use ftp-server with 16MB memory, 'mirror' software is 
+not usable :-p, so I wrote software from scratch, that is 
+frpmirror.
+
+For example, full mirroring of FreeBSD distribution 
+(ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.ORG/pub/FreeBSD/*) needs 8~9 MB.
+*(Notice by translator) Original document wrote at 
+ old(1998). May be this results has obsolete.*
+<p>
+You need perl-5.003 or later to use ftpmirror.
+Please ensure that perl-5.003 or later was installed
+in your environment, at first.
+
+But, perl 5.004 has a bug of memory leak. It eat a 
+lot of memory spaces when mirroring directory tree.
+I test with perl5.005, it has small memory leak too,
+it is smaller than perl 5.004, it is not critical for
+real usage. I suggest you using Perl 5.005.
+
+<h2>How to use <i>ftpmirror</i></h2>
+
+<ol>
+<p>
+<li>Install <i>ftpmirror</i> first.
+ The newest version of <i>ftpmirror</i> is available from
+ <a href=ftp://ftp.intec.co.jp/pub/utils/><b>ftp.intec.co.jp</b></a>.
+
+<p>
+ Please use these URLs.
+ <ul>
+  <li>ftp://ftp.intec.co.jp/pub/utils/ftpmirror/       : release
+  <li>ftp://ftp.intec.co.jp/pub/utils/ftpmirror/beta/  : beta 
+ </ul>
+<p>
+ Since <i>ftpmirror</i> is a archive of instal files,
+ you must only extract the archive.
+ Do one of following:
+ <pre>
+  % cd /usr/local/src
+% gzip -cd < /tmp/ftpmirror-x.y.tar.gz | tar xf -
+
+</pre>
+
+So create a directory named ftpmirror-x.y. Change directory
+and execute configure:<br>
+<i>Notice: If you need define specific perl verions, please set
+perls path for enviroment variable "PERL".</i>
+<pre>
+% cd ftpmirror-x.y
+% ./configure 
+</pre>
+
+<i>Or, when you need specific perl version:</i>
+<pre>
+% cd ftpmirror-x.y
+% env PERL=/usr/local/bin/perl5.005 ./configure 
+</pre>
+
+Execute make:
+
+<pre>
+% make
+</pre>
+
+When finished make with no errors. So install:
+<pre>
+% su
+# make install
+</pre>
+
+In finished this procedure, so installed files are below paths:
+<pre>
+/usr/local/bin/ftpmirror
+/usr/local/bin/rotate
+/usr/local/etc/ftpmirror.cf-sample
+/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/Fan.pm
+/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/Fan/...   (and some dirs)
+/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/auto/Fan/...  (and some dirs) 
+
+* Notice: libraries install directory can changes 
+    with perl's installed settings.
+</pre>
+
+And copying and editing a configuration files, please add
+difinition what you needs.
+<pre>
+# cd /usr/local/etc
+# cp ftpmirror.cf-sample ftpmirror.cf
+# vi ftpmirror.cf
+
+</pre>
+
+<h2><a name=configuration>Configuration</h2>
+
+You can define parameters for <i>ftpmirror</i> with
+the default configuration file,
+package specific configuration file,
+and run-time options (commands arguments).
+
+In addition, configuration files are set /usr/local/etc/ftpmirror.cf
+by defauls, it can change by command argument 
+"--load-config=/hoge/local.cf" if you need.
+And argument "--load-config=+/hogehoge/local.cf" is used, 
+this is append reading after adove defaults reading.
+
+<p>
+Configuration parameters have follwoing types.
+
+<pre>
+Default parametes:
+Configuration files settings. They are written before
+Serverss and Packages parameters. 
+
+Server parameters:
+Difinition of server specific(timeouts, gateways and
+so on..). They are provided at configuration files, 
+with 'server' parameters.
+
+Package parameters:
+Difinition of packages specific(direcotry, transfer 
+modes and so on). They are provided at configuration files, 
+with 'package' parameters.
+
+Option parameters:
+It provide by command args.
+</pre>
+
+Their parameters are settings by adove order(when exists).
+Option parameters are most prefferd.
+<p>
+
+How to settings parameters at configuration files:<br>
+
+That has two syntaxr, 
+
+<pre>
+param-name = value
+or 
+param-name += value 
+
+=  is set param-name by value.
++= is adding value(strings) for param-name.
+</pre>
+<p>
+How to settings parameters at commands args:<br>
+
+When using by commands args,any parameters must be 
+prepended by "--" in command line options.
+That use --(two minus) before options.
+
+For example, following syntax is same as adove 
+configuration settings.
+
+<pre>
+% ftpmirror --param-name=value ...
+% ftpmirror --param-name+=value ...
+</pre>
+
+<h2><a name=parameters>Parameters</h2>
+
+<p>
+There are many acceptable parameters as follows:
+<ul>
+<li><b>Parameters for system and behavior</b>
+<ul>
+
+<li><a name=todo>todo</a>:(string, default: full-mirror) <br>
+Settings of command behavior. Currently <i>ftpmirror</i>
+supports these behavior.
+<ul>
+<li>scan-remote	: listup remote sides files.
+
+<li>scan-local	: listup local sides files.
+<li>update-master	: update local sides master index.
+<li>synch-remote	: synchronize index files.
+<li>step-mirror	: mirroring as slave mode.
+<li>full-mirror	: execute basic mirroring(default).
+</ul>
+In defaults, it set basic mirroring behavior "full-mirror".
+*-regexp filters are enabled at first, any behavior 
+works with these filters.
+
+<li><a name=veboze>verbose</a>: (boolean, default: no)<br>
+When set yes, transfer logs ouput verbosey. If set yes,
+logs output about non-transfererd/non-modified files.
+
+<li><a name=log-mask>log-mask</a>: (comma separated list,
+default: none)<br>
+Settings about output logs. These difinition separates by 
+perl libraries. For example, 
+	log-mask = Fan=6,Fan::FTP=7
+are set, a output log include filelist of non transfererd/
+non modified, and ftp's verbosey log.
+
+<li><a name=test-mode>test-mode</a> (boolean, default: no)<br>
+
+dry-run. When set yes, only show filelist of transfer targets
+without real transfer.
+</ul>
+
+<li><b>Parameters for FTP session</b>
+<ul>
+
+<li><a name=ftp-server>ftp-server</a>: (string, default: none)<br>
+The server name to connect FTP session. This must be specified
+for mirroring.
+
+<li><a name=ftp-gateway>ftp-gateway</a>: (string, default: none)<br>
+Specify this parameter if you use FTP proxy gateway such as
+<a href=http://www.tis.com/docs/products/fwtk/>
+TIS Internet FireWall ToolKit</a>.
+For example, "ftp-user = anonymous", "ftp-server = ring.etl.go.jp",
+"ftp-gateway = proxy.intec.co.jp" are set, real-connection
+goes to proxy.intec.co.jp, and username is anynymou@ring.etl.go.jp
+(ftp-pass is through simple).
+You may define this with <a name=server>server</a> parameter. 
+
+
+<li><a name=ftp-port>ftp-port</a>: (service, default: ftp)
+ftp port definition. If you need change a port number, please set.
+When nomarlly usage, it is not necessary.
+
+<li><a name=ftp-bindaddr>ftp-bindaddr</a>: (ip address, default: none)
+ftp local sides IP address difinitition. This can set a 
+specific difinition of local ip address. When using multi-homed
+hosts(The hosts have multiple ip addresses), this settings provides
+a clear log files.
+When nomarlly usage, it is not necessary.
+
+<li><a name=ftp-user>ftp-user</a>: (string, default: anonymous)<br>
+Login name for FTP session. If you want to use anonymous FTP,
+please specify "anonymous" as this parameter.
+
+<li><a name=ftp-pass>ftp-pass</a>: (string, default: `whoami`@`hostname`)<br>
+Password for FTP session. 
+
+<li><a name=ftp-group>ftp-group</a>: (string, default: none)<br>
+If you want change group id after logged to the server,
+specify the group name.
+This must be specified with <a href=#ftp-gpass><tt>ftp-gpass</tt></a>.
+
+
+<li><a name=ftp-gpass>ftp-gpass</a>: (string, default: none)<br>
+If you want change group id after logged to the server,
+specify a password to change group.
+This must be specified with <a href=#ftp-group><tt>ftp-group</tt></a>.
+
+<li><a name=ftp-passive>ftp-passive</a>: (boolean, default: no)<br>
+Set this parameter to yes if passive connection(PASV command in FTP)
+is required. This helps you if you use <i>ftpmirror</i> over
+a SYN/ACK style firewall.
+
+<li><a name=ftp-idle>ftp-idle</a>: (numeric, default: 0)<br>
+If this parameter is not zero, <i>ftpmirror</i> tries to set idle timer
+of FTP session to this value.
+FTP server must support SITE IDLE command.
+
+
+<li><a name=ftp-max-idle>ftp-max-idle</a>: (boolean, default: 0)<br>
+If this parameter is not zero, <i>ftpmirror</i> tries to set idle timer
+of FTP session to maximum value.
+FTP server must support SITE IDLE command.
+
+<li><a name=ftp-list-method>ftp-list-method</a>: (LIST or STAT or STAT-A or STAT-A or STAT-AT default: STAT)<br>
+You can specify which of STAT or LIST command should be used to get
+server's directory entries. Since STAT command returns server's
+directory entries over control connection, it is little faster than
+LIST command. Some ftp server software does not returns directory
+entry which is required by <i>ftpmirror</i>, in that case you must
+speficy as <b>ftp-list-method = list</B>.
+
+<li><a name=ftp-timeout>ftp-timeout</a>: (numeric, default: 300)<br>
+
+Timeout of connection. Unit is second. 
+
+<li><a name=ftp-login-retry>ftp-login-retry</a>: (numeric, default: none)<br>
+*This function is not implemented yet.*
+
+<li><a name=ftp-login-delay>ftp-login-delay</a>: (numeric, default: 60)<br>
+
+<li><a namer=ftp-stats>ftp-stats</a>: (boolean, default: no)<br>
+If it set yes, when mirroring is finished, total transaction 
+staistics is shown. It appear "control connection in/out", and
+"data connection in/out" by octet units.
+
+<li><a name=http-proxy>http-Proxy</a>: (string, default: none)
+http-proxy settings when you need accessing ftp server with
+http. But, http cannot get direcroty information, so use 
+ls-LR file, or using slave mode.<br>
+For example, 
+
+<ul>
+ <li> package = FreeBSD
+    <li> ftp-server = ftp.tokyonet.ad.jp
+    <li> http-proxy = proxy.my.company.com
+    <li> remote-directory = /pub/FreeBSD
+    <li> local-directory = ~ftp/pub/FreeBSD
+    <li> lslR-file = /pub/FreeBSD/ls-lR.Z
+</ul>
+Notice: HTTP is usgin per file transfer TCP connection.
+So cause large session logs, and heavy latency. 
+</ul>
+
+<li><b>Parameters for a package</b>
+<ul>
+<li><a name=server>server</a>: (boolean, default none)<br>
+This is used to define FTP server specific parameters.
+After this parameter, any parameter are treated as the server
+specific parameter,
+until package or (next)server parameter will be found.
+Especially, it's reasonable to specify
+</ul>
+
+<li><b>Parameters for a mirroring</b>
+<ul>
+<li><a name=unlink>unlink</a>:(boolean, default: no)<br>
+When set yes, local directory trees are copied to remote hosts.
+For example,
+
+<ul>
+ <li>package = webcopy
+ <li> ftp-server = www.intec.co.jp
+ <li> ftp-user = webadmin
+ <li> ftp-pass = nan-jara-hoi
+ <li> ftp-passive = yes
+ <li> put-mode = yes
+ <li> remote-directory = /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs
+ <li> local-directory = ~ikuo/web/htdocs
+
+<ul>
+
+<li><a name=unlink>unlink</a>: (boolean or 'rename' default: yes)<br>
+Set this parameter "yes" or 1 if you want to unlink a file
+which is removed from servers directory.
+You may set this parameter as "rename",
+in this case, <i>ftpmirror</i> renames a file with a trailing Tilda('~').
+
+<li><a name=unlink-limit>unlink-limit</a>: (size value, default: 0)<br>
+** !!! This is not support current version. This is obsolete.**<br>
+If this parameter is defined, <i>ftpmirror</i> will not remove
+large files or large directories.
+This may help you when server side directory hierachy is
+dramatically changed.
+For example, if <tt>unlink-limit</tt> is defined as 30M,
+any file or directory who is larger than 30Mbytes will not
+be removed. You may also specify 500K or 3G as the maximum size.
+When <tt>unlink-limit</tt> is defined as 100 (e.g. no size suffix),
+
+<i>ftpmirror</i> will not remote the directory who has more than
+100 entries.
+
+<li><a name=ftp-force-mtime>ftp-force-mtime</a>:(boolean, default: no)<br>
+ When it set yes, time comparing is using MDTM commands.It set no,
+ MDTM commands does not call using only file transfering.  
+
+<li><a name=ignore-mtime>ignore-mtime</a>: (boolean, default: no)<br>
+<li><a name=check-mtime>check-mtime</a>: (default: 1)<br>
+By default, <i>ftpmirror</i> try to check modified times of local and
+remote files. If this parameter is zero, <i>ftpmirror</i> does NOT
+check modified time.
+In this case, if local and remote files have same size <i>ftpmirror</i>
+
+will only change local file timestamp to match remote one.
+
+<li><a name=temp-directory>temp-directory</a>: (pathname, default: /tmp)<br>
+<i>Ftpmirror</i> stores temporary files to the directory specified by
+this parameter. Currently, ls-lR or dirinfo files may be stored
+in this directory.
+
+<li><a name=lock-directory>lock-directory</a>: (pathname, default: /tmp)<br>
+<i>Ftpmirror</i> use lock mechanism
+to avoid invoking multiple <i>ftpmirror</i>s for a package.
+lock-directory parameter means the directory to create lock file.
+local-db
+<li><a name=create-firectory>create-directory</a> : (boolean, default: yes)
+When local-directory, temp-directory, lock-directory is set, but 
+target directories dont exists, case of set yes to mkdir, set no
+to not and error aborting.
+
+
+<li><a name=remote-directory>remote-directory</a>: (boolean, default: none)<br>
+You must specify the directory on the FTP server where you want to mirror
+as this parameter.
+Any mirror is recursively performed from this directory.
+
+<li><a name=local-directory>local-directory</a>: (pathname, default: none)<br>
+You must set this parameter to the directory in local-side host,
+e.g. the directory paired with
+<a name=remote-directory>remote-directory</a>.
+Next example shows that <i>ftpmirror</i> will mirror
+"/pub/FreeBSD" in the FTP server
+to "/ftp/pub/FreeBSD" in local.
+<pre>
+remote-directory = /pub/FreeBSD
+local-directory = /ftp/pub/FreeBSD</pre>
+If home-directory is defined (or ftp user's home directory exists),
+you can specify as follows:
+
+<pre>
+remote-directory = /pub/FreeBSD
+local-directory = ~/pub/FreeBSD</pre>
+
+<li><a name=master-db-directory>master-db-directory</a>: (pathname, default: none)<br>
+ftpmirror can store localhosts filelist and last mirroring datas,
+if use this features, set master-db-directory and create storing 
+directory.
+
+For example, following esettings will create filelist of ~ftp/pub/FreeBSD
+files. In this case, "n" is index files revision. And cycle a mirroring,
+~ftp/db/FreeBSD/step.m is created too. "m" is step files revisions.
+step.m is diff of index.m => index.m+1.
+<pre>
+	package = FreeBSD
+	 ftp-server = ftp.FreeBSD.ORG
+	 remote-directory = /pub/%s
+	 local-directory = ~ftp/pub/%s
+	 master-db-directory = ~ftp/db/%s
+</pre>
+Addition, when dont use mirroring, master-db-direcoty can manage
+directory tree. Example is below.
+
+<pre>
+	package = original-tools
+	 local-directory = ~ftp/pub/%s
+	 master-db-directory = ~ftp/db/%s
+</pre>
+
+For update database only please execute:
+<pre>
+	% ftpmirror --todo=update-master original-tools
+</pre>
+
+If remote server has a master-db-directory, it can use 
+"slave mode" mirroring. Please set remote-db-directory
+and local-db-cirectory parameters.
+
+<li><a name=remote-db-directory>remote-db-directory</a>: (pathname, default: none)
+<li><a name=local-db-directory>local-db-directory</a>: (pathname, default: none)<br>
+When remote server has a remote-db-directory, it can efficiency mirroring.
+This called "slave mode". "slave mode" can be use setting 
+remote-db-directory and local-db-directory. If you use it, 
+please create directory that local-db-directory specified. 
+A parameters of master-db-directory is must set remote sides
+master-db-direcotry.<br>
+
+These parameters can %s conversion(same local-directry parameters)
+And, local-db-directory supports tilda(~) directory conversion.
+
+When remote-db-directory and local-db-directory set, ftpmirror's
+behavior is below. At first, starts sync master-db-directory, 
+second, start mirroring with db information. In this case, 
+all file informations are provide by db, so without LIST, STAT
+commands.
+
+And, database syncronization is not fully copy, this synthethis
+a old index file and step files. Full copy is only apper at
+two case one is first copy, one of db files are broken. 
+
+For example, using "slave mode" with adove(master-db-directory's
+example) server, sample configuration is below.
+
+<pre>
+
+	package = FreeBSD
+ 	 ftp-server = ftp.master.server.host
+	 remote-directory = /pub/%s
+	 local-directory = ~ftp/pub/%s
+	 remote-db-directory = /db/%s
+	 local-db-directory = ~ftp/db/%s
+</pre>
+
+For advence, you can cumulative mirroring with step files.
+Configuration is same adove, use: 
+<pre>
+	 % ftpmirror --todo=step-mirror FreeBSD
+</pre>
+
+<li><a name=lslR-file>lslR-file</a>: (pathname, default: none)<br>
+You can use ls-lR(or similar) on the FTP server rather than
+directory scan with STAT/LIST. Specify server side filename
+of ls-lR(or similar) as this parameter.
+If <tt>lslR-file</tt> has an extension of .gz or .Z,
+gunzip or uncompress will be automatically invoked.
+For example, if you mirror ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD with ls-lR.gz,
+you may specify as next:
+
+<pre>
+ftp-server = ftp.freebsd.org
+remote-directory = /pub/FreeBSD
+local-directory = ~/pub/FreeBSD
+lslR-file = /pub/FreeBSD/ls-lR.gz</pre>
+
+<li><a name="lslR-copy">lslR-copy</a>: (pathname, default: none)<br>
+When you need archive copying lslR-file on localhost, set this 
+parameter. If you set a relative path, a path leading from 
+local-directory. And, relative path set override-file parameters 
+automatically. So lslR-copy is prevent from overwrite with mirroring.
+This setting is set, when lslR-file is transfered, and chacheing to 
+lslR-copy file, then prevent needless transfer.
+The check of size/last modified are non-transferring with lslR-file.
+<br>
+Addition, when you set this parameters, you can use efficient mirroring
+with ls-lR file without lslR-file parameters.
+
+<li>transfer-file-regexp: (regexp, default: matches all)<br>
+  Regular expressions(perl's regular expression) to match filenames
+  to transfer.
+  <i>Ftpmirror</i> tries to transfer only files on the server
+  which matches to this expression.
+  Any filename on the FTP server is represented as relative path
+  (from remote-directory) beginning with "./".
+  That is, if remote-directory is configured as "/pub/FreeBSD",
+  the file "/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE/README.TXT" on the server
+  is represented as "./2.1.5-RELEASE/README.TXT".<br>
+
+  <p>
+  Some examples follow:
+  </p><pre>  transfer-file-regexp += !/~$/
+  transfer-file-regexp += !/\/\.in/
+  transfer-file-regexp += !/\/\.nfs/</pre>
+  With this configuration, <i>ftpmirror</i> does NOT transfer files
+  end with "~" and begin with ".in" or ".nfs".
+  <p>
+
+  (Notes: "=" means replacing a parameter value,
+   and "+=" means appending a parameter string)
+  </p><pre>  transfer-file-regexp += /\/bash-/
+  transfer-file-regexp += /\/gcc-/
+  transfer-file-regexp += !</pre>
+
+  With adobe configuration, <i>ftpmirror</i> tries to transfer bash-* and
+  gcc-* files, but not others.
+  The last line in this example means
+  <i>ftpmirror</i> does NOT transfer by default.
+<li>transfer-directory-regexp: (default: matches all)<br>
+  Regular expressions(perl's regular expression) to match directory
+  names to scan in a FTP server.
+  Note that any directory in a FTP server is represented with trailing
+  slash ('/').
+  For example, next shows configuration to avoid <i>ftpmirror</i>
+  NOT to scan(off course, this means NOT to transfer) directories
+  whose names are "lost+found", or directories ended with '~'.
+  <pre>  transfer-directory-regexp += !/\/lost+found\/$/
+  transfer-directory-regexp += !/~\/$/</pre>
+
+<li>override-file-regexp: (default: matches all)<br>
+  Regular expressions(perl's regular expression) to match files
+  you can override in local directories.
+  In actual mirror session,
+  <i>ftpmirror</i> tries to transfer files which match
+  <tt>transfer-file-regexp</tt>,
+  and also match <tt>override-file-regexp</tt>.
+  Any file which does not match <tt>override-file-regexp</tt>
+  will not be modified by <i>ftpmirror</i>.
+  In the next example, <i>ftpmirror</i> tries to transfer bash-* files,
+  but not modified any other files. This is useful when you want
+  to get files from multiple FTP servers
+  to a single local-side directory.
+  <pre>  transfer-file-regexp += /\/bash-/
+  transfer-file-regexp += !
+  override-file-regexp += /\/bash-/
+  override-file-regexp += !</pre>
+
+<li>override-directory-regexp: (default: matches all)<br>
+  Regular expressions(perl's regular expression) to match directories
+  <i>ftpmirror</i> will modify.
+  You can transfer directories from multiple FTP
+  servers to a single local-side directory with this parameter.
+  Following example shows that you can transfer the FreeBSD-nonUS
+  into the FreeBSD directory.
+  <pre>  package = FreeBSD
+   ftp-server = ftp.tokyonet.ad.jp
+   remote-directory = /pub/FreeBSD
+   local-directory = ~/pub/FreeBSD
+   override-directory-regexp += !/\.\/FreeBSD-nonUS\//
+
+  package = FreeBSD-nonUS
+   ftp-server = ftp.waseda.ac.jp
+   remote-directory = /pub/FreeBSD-nonUS
+   local-directory = ~/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-nonUS</pre>
+
+<li>load-local-dirinfo: (default: 0)<br>
+  Set this parameter to 1 if you want to load local ".dirinfo" files.
+  A ".dirinfo" file contains
+  <a href="#dirinfo">directory information</a> described below.
+
+
+<li>store-local-dirinfo: (default: 0)<br>
+  Set this parameter to 1 if you want to generate ".dirinfo" files
+  in local-side directories after each mirror session.
+  A ".dirinfo" file contains
+  <a href="#dirinfo">directory information</a> described below.
+
+<li>load-remote-dirinfo: (default: 0)
+Set this parameter to 1 if you want to load and use directory information stored in the FTP server. Using directory information, you can mirror files without STAT/LIST/SIZE/MDTM, and ftpmirror can check MD5 checksum of files.
+
+<li>override-file-uid: (default: 0)<br>
+  You can specify owner of files/directories in local. Any files
+  and directories which match <tt>override-*-regexp</tt>,
+  will be owned by this user id.
+  If <i>ftpmirror</i> is invoked by non privileged user,
+  this parameter is ignored.
+
+ </li><li>override-file-gid: (default: 0)<br>
+
+  Same as <a href="#override-file-uid"><tt>override-file-uid</tt></a>,
+  but this parameter is for group id.
+  Note that if one of <tt>override-file-uid</tt>
+  and <tt>override-file-gid</tt> is defined,
+  any file which matches <tt>override-*-regexp</tt> (even if it is
+  not transfered) will be modified with chown.
+
+ </li><li>override-file-mode: (default: root -&gt; 0444, other -&gt; 0644)<br>
+
+  You can specify local-side file mode.
+  <i>Ftpmirror</i> applies chmod to any file which matches
+  <tt>override-*-regexp</tt> if this parameter is specified.
+
+ </li><li>override-directory-mode: (default: 0755)<br>
+  Same as <a href="#override-file-mode"><tt>override-file-mode</tt></a>,
+  but this parameter is for directories.
+
+ </li><li>default-file-uid: (default: 0)<br>
+
+  Undef <a href="#override-file-uid"><tt>override-file-uid</tt></a>,
+  and set this parameter to specify default owner of local-side files.
+  <i>Ftpmirror</i> decides file owner in order:
+  <tt>override-file-uid</tt>, owner in FTP server,
+  <tt>default-file-uid</tt>.
+
+ </li><li>default-file-gid: (default: 0)<br>
+
+  Same as <tt>default-file-uid</tt>, but this parameter is for group id.
+
+ </li><li>default-file-mode: (default: root -&gt; 0444, other -&gt; 0644)<br>
+
+  Undef <a href="#override-file-mode"><tt>override-file-mode</tt></a>
+  and you can specify default file mode.
+  <i>Ftpmirror</i> tries to change file mode
+  in order: <tt>override-file-mode</tt>,
+  file mode in FTP server, <tt>default-file-mode</tt>.
+  Note that since file mode is masked with 0777, you can not set
+  setuid/setgid file modes.
+
+ </li><li>default-directory-mode: (default: 0755)<br>
+
+ Same as <a href="#default-file-mode"><tt>default-file-mode</tt></a>,
+ but this parameter is for a directory mode.
+ </li></ul>
+
+ <i>Ftpmirror</i> tries to compare files in local
+ and remote with these entries.
+ For example, <i>ftpmirror</i> compares as:
+ <ol>
+ <li><b>file</b> file-type<br>
+  Are sizes same? and are md5checksums same?
+ <li><b>symlink</b> file-type<br>
+
+  Do they point same file?
+ <li><b>directory</b> file-type<br>
+  Is the begin-time of last update of local directory is before
+  the end-time of last update of remote directory?
+ </ol>
+ Especially, comparing directory update times are effective,
+ if no file is changed in the remote directory, because <i>ftpmirror</i>
+ do nothing about the directory (even directory scan is skipped).
+ <p>
+ <i>Ftpmirror</i> generate ".dirinfo" file
+ if <a href=#store-local-dirinfo><tt>store-local-dirinfo</tt></a> parameter
+ is 1. You can also generate this file with mkdirinfo:
+ <pre>
+
+ # mkdirinfo /ftp/pub/utils</pre>

+
+o resource checking with getrusage command.
+
+o In FTP mode, login retry  and  reconnect when timed out 
+  is supports now.
